MTLN[mu,nu,n,nb]
denotes the positive component in the lightcone decomposition of the metric tensor g^{\mu \nu} along the vectors n
and nb
. It corresponds to \frac{1}{2} n^{\mu} \bar{n}^\nu.
If one omits n
and nb
, the program will use default vectors specified via $FCDefaultLightconeVectorN
and $FCDefaultLightconeVectorNB
.

Notice that the properties of n
and nb
vectors have to be set by hand before doing the actual computation
